AccuKnox Expands into South Korea with Frentree Partnership, Bolstering Cloud Security

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – November 17, 2025 – AccuKnox, a global leader in Zero Trust Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP), today announced a strategic partnership with Frentree, a prominent South Korean cybersecurity solutions provider, to expand its reach into the rapidly growing Korean market. The collaboration aims to strengthen cloud, container, and AI workload security for Korean enterprises navigating a complex threat landscape and accelerating cloud adoption.

Rising Threats and the Demand for Zero Trust

The South Korean cybersecurity market is experiencing significant growth, fueled by an increasing number of sophisticated cyberattacks targeting both public and private sectors. According to recent industry reports, the market is projected to reach approximately $20.34 billion by 2034, driven by the nation’s rapid digital transformation and the need for robust security measures. “The threat landscape in South Korea is particularly challenging, with a high volume of state-sponsored attacks and increasingly sophisticated malware,” noted one industry analyst. “Enterprises are urgently seeking solutions that can provide comprehensive protection for their cloud-native applications and data.”

This demand is driving a growing adoption of Zero Trust security models, which assume that no user or device should be trusted by default, regardless of its location or network access. CNAPP platforms play a crucial role in implementing Zero Trust by providing comprehensive visibility, threat detection, and policy enforcement across the entire application lifecycle. AccuKnox's approach, built on open-source technologies like KubeArmor and ModelArmor, offers a flexible and scalable solution for securing cloud-native workloads. “Companies need to move beyond traditional perimeter-based security and embrace a more granular, identity-based approach,” explained one cybersecurity professional familiar with the Korean market. “CNAPP solutions are essential for achieving this.”

Strategic Expansion into a Key Asian Market

AccuKnox’s partnership with Frentree represents a strategic move to capitalize on the growing demand for cloud security in South Korea. Frentree’s strong regional presence and deep understanding of the local market will be instrumental in accelerating AccuKnox’s expansion. “We identified South Korea as a key growth market for our CNAPP solutions,” stated a company spokesperson. “Frentree’s expertise and established relationships with major enterprises make them the ideal partner for us.”

Frentree, known for specializing in cloud security, privacy, and compliance for financial institutions and large enterprises, brings significant value to the partnership. The company’s focus on serving highly regulated industries aligns perfectly with AccuKnox’s commitment to providing robust security solutions that meet stringent compliance requirements. “We are excited to partner with AccuKnox and bring their innovative CNAPP technology to our customers,” said a representative from Frentree. “This partnership will enable us to offer even more comprehensive security solutions and help our customers protect their critical assets.”

Securing the Future of AI and Cloud-Native Applications

Beyond traditional cloud security, the partnership will also focus on securing increasingly complex AI workloads. As organizations embrace artificial intelligence and machine learning, they face new security challenges related to data privacy, model integrity, and potential vulnerabilities in AI infrastructure. AccuKnox’s ModelArmor technology, built on top of KubeArmor, provides a robust sandbox environment for securing AI/ML models and preventing unauthorized access or malicious activity. “Securing AI workloads is becoming increasingly critical,” explained one data scientist familiar with the challenges of AI security. “ModelArmor provides a much-needed layer of protection for sensitive data and intellectual property.”

The combination of AccuKnox’s technology and Frentree’s local expertise will enable organizations in South Korea to confidently adopt cloud-native technologies and embrace the power of AI without compromising security. By providing comprehensive visibility, threat detection, and policy enforcement across the entire application lifecycle, the partnership will help organizations build a more secure and resilient digital infrastructure. One expert familiar with the partnership shared, “The collaboration is perfectly positioned to address the growing need for advanced security solutions that can protect against evolving threats and enable organizations to innovate with confidence.
